FOREWORDS 



From the lips of the "oldest inhabitant" the writer was wont many 
years ago to hear much about the Old Dutch Church at Totowa, till in fan- 
cy he could picture to himself the quaint square stone building with pyr- 
amidal shingle roof, and odd belfry ; the box-pews, with doors carefully 
closed ; the queer pulpit perched up at one end, overshadowed by the 
huge sounding-board ; the sturdy Dutch folk who with reverential air lis- 
tened to the Word as expounded by Dominie Marinus, Dominie Meyer, 
Dominie Schoonmaker or Dominie Eltinge, and at intermission strolled 
about the solemn '"God's Acre" where reposed their dead who waited the 
resurrection into Life. 

The "oldest inhabitant" is forever passing away. Cornelius Van 
Winkle, Cornelius H. Post, Ralph Doremus, Mrs. Catharine Doremus, 
Abraham H. Godwin, Avery Richards, John R. Van Houten, David 
Bensen, Richard Van Houten and others from whom the writer in former 
days gleaned their recollections of the Old Church and its founders, have 
all gone. Soon there will be none left who have worshipped within those 
walls. 

To preserve the accounts obtained directly from those personally famil- 
iar with the Old Church has been the aim of the writer, that there should 
be a permanent memorial of an edifice wherein so much for good was 
wrought during three quarters of a century. Oral tradition has' been sup- 
plemented by original documents, hitherto unpublished. 

There has been added the Record of Baptisms, in the original Dutch, 
the only early record of the church known to exist. 

The frontispiece is drawn from the description on pages 28-31 and the 
sketch by Uzal W. Freeman, mentioned on page 33, and which was printed 
in 181 1 (not 1825, as stated in the text). 

Much of this History was published by the author in a local newspaper 
about 1871. It has been re-written and revised, and a large amount of 
new material since discovered has been incorporated. In its present shape 
it is hoped that the work may be of some value as a contribution to local 
history, and serve to perjjetuate the memory of that ancient landmark — the 
Old Dutch Church at Totowa. 

Christmas-Tide, 1892. 



The Old Dutch Church at Totowa. 



I. Introductory. 

For more than three-quarters of a century the church-going 
people of the country now included within the limits of the city 
of Paterson attended divine worship at what is known in our 
local history as "The Old Dutch Church at Totowa." More 
than sixty years have passed since the quaint and venerable 
structure was swept out of existence. In a few more years none 
will be left who can say they have stood within its walls. Al- 
ready = t is difficult to giean any facts concerning its history from 
living witnesses. Most of the particulars hereinafter given 
were obtained years ago from persons who have long smce gone 
to join the "innumerable company" who once worshiped 
at this old church. To put in permanent and available form 
some account of the history of this ancient edifice the following 
pages have been written, as a contribution to the local history 
of the neighborhood. 

While most of our older citizens have heard of the old 
Totowa church, vague accounts of which are handed down by 
tradition, accurate, definite information concerning it is not 
readily obtained. The only church records bearing on its his- 
tory known to exist are, i st : the Acquackanonk Church Rec- 
ords—one ponderous folio containing entries from 1724 to 1773, 
and two smaller manuscript volumes, down to and after 1816; 
3d, the Totowa Church Records— one volume containing the 
Treasurer's accounts from 1795 to 1816, and minutes of Con- 
sistory thereafter until 1833 ; another volume containing min-

utes of the Great Consistory and meetings of the congregation, 
in iSi6, and 1S37 to 1S57 ' ^^^^^ '^ third volume containing a bap- 
tismal register, 1756-1809, to which Is prefixed a copy of the 
call to the first pastor of the church. The Acquackanonk Rec- 
ords contain a few direct references to the Totowa church, as 
hereinafter noted; again in iSio, in reference to a dispute be- 
tween a member of the church and the pastor, and in 18 16 when 
the connection between the two churches was finally dissolved. 
The Totowa Records are not connected at all, and give no in- 
sight into the workings of the church until 1825 and thereafter. 
Hence, we must look elsewhere for much of the Information as 
to the history of the church for the first three-quarters of a cen- 
tury of its existence. The more important authorities will be 
mentioned as quoted. 

The Acquackanonk Church chose its first oflSicers in 1694, 
and was located about where the First Reformed church of Pas- 
saic now stands — partly, doubtless, because there was something 
of a settlement there, and because it was most convenient to the 
greater part of the congregation. During the next thirty years 
the population north of Acquackanonk increased to suCh an ex- 
tent that a church was organized at the Ponds (1724),* and To- 
towa, Paterson, Preakness and Pompton Plains were i^epresent- 
ed in the Acquackanonk Consistory by the Van Gysens, Peters- 
es, Vreelands, Van Winkels, Vander Beeks, etc. In May, 
1710, Peter Helmerichse van Houtewas elected Deacon, and he 
was doubtless the first chosen from Totowa. In 1716, Joris 
(George) Reyersen was elected a Deacon — probably from Pac- 
quanac ; in 1718 — Simon van Nes, from Singack, or perhaps 
from Pompton Plains; in 1719 — David Hennion, from Upper 
Preakness; in 1720 — Roelof Helmerichse van Houte, doubt- 
less from Totowa; in 1730 — Cornells Doremes, who settled at 
Preakness in 1723; in 1732 — Paulus van der Beek, of Pomp- 
ton Plains; In 1734 — Dirk van Houte, of Totowa; in 1737 — 
Roelof Van Houten, Elder; in 1738 — Thomas Doremes, Dea- 
con; In 1739 — J(acob) V. Houten, Elder; in 1742 — Helmech 
R(oelofse) V. Houten, Deacon; in 1743 — Cornells Hel(mer- 
ichse) V. Houten, Elder ; Hel. Piet V. Houten, Deacon ; in 



*Now Oakland, Bergen County. 



ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH. II 

1744 — Robbt. V. Houten, Deacon; in i745 — Jo^i'^ Reyerszen 
and John Vincent, Deacons; in 1751 — Rinicr van Houte, 
Church Master; in 1753 — ^Dirrick van Houte, Elder, Gerre- 
brand van Houte, Deacon ; in i755 — Johannis Vanhoute, Dea- 
con. These are the names only of the church officers chosen 
from north of the Passaic river ; the van Winkels, Vreelands, 
Posts and Gerritses chosen from the Boght, Vvesel, Slooterdam 
and vicinity were even more numerous. This indicates the 
growing importance of the church membership north of Ac- 
quackanonk, and the increasing need of regular preaching at 
some place between Acquackanonk and the Ponds. 

II. First Preaching at Totowa. 
It was the custom of the old Dutch ministers to preach oc- 
casionally through the week at hamlets remote from the church- 
es, and it is not unlikely that Dominie Jonannes Van Driessen, 
pastor at Acquackanonk and Pompton, 1735-4S, may have held 
forth sometimes at or near Totowa, though he says nothing of 
it in his voluminous personal memoranda in the Acquackanonk 
Records. 

III. Organization of the Totowa Church. 
The organization of the Totowa church is undoubtedly due, 
under God, to the zealous etibrts of a pious young man, David 
Marinus, who, while yet a Theological student (" S. S. Theol. 
Studiosus") was called (Nov. 12,* 1750) to take charge of 
the churches at Acquackanonk and Pompton. He seems 
to have been a man of some means, and instead of occupying 
the parsonage at Acquackanonk during his whole ministry, he 
bought (July 20, 1754) of Plenry Brockholst a tract of one hun- 
dred acres lying on Totowa, between the Falls and Hamburgh 
avenue, or more definitely between the present streets known as 
Marion street and Red Woods avenue, and extending from the 
river about 5,700 oi' S^Soo feet north to between Chamberlin 
and Chatham avenues, including the present city poor farm. 
The price was £200 "current lawful money of New York," 
about $500 of our money to-day.* Tradition says he built a

Deeds in Passaic County Clerk's office, p. 374.

house and lived on this tract, on the north side of Totowa ave- 
nue, near the present Jasper street, about w^here stands an old 
stone house formerly occupied by the late Robert Field. Dec. 
2, 1760, he sold this place to Gerrit Van Houte, of Slooterdam, 
for £400 " current money New York" (about $1,000).* The 
transaction was really an exchange,, it is said, the Dominie re- 
moving to and occupying Viin Houte's farm at Slooterdam 
(where the Van Bussums now are), and Van Houte removing 
to Totowa and occupying the Dominie's house. This dwelling 
was replaced by a subsequent purchaser, Albert Van Saun, by 
the stone house now standing, near Jasper street, as above men- 
tioned. 

To Dominie Marinus's residence on Totowa is doubtless due 
the organization of the new church, which was effected in 
about a year after his settlement there. The location of it was 
also his work, in all probability, as it was almost within a 
stone's throw of his dwelling. 

In the first volume of the Acquackanonk Church Records are 
several minutes, setting forth the steps taken to organize the new 
church. Following is a translation : 

The 12 November 1755 at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Veuerrible Consist- 
oiy of Achqnechenouk met. The meeting was opened with prayer by the 
President and a letter was delivered which was opened and read contain- 
ing a request from a part of onr Congregation at Totua, wherein they pe- 
tition the Venerable Consistory to know (1) how much service they shall 
be allowed in the new church [A'e?"A]t at Totua (2) whether the Churches 
[Kerke7i] namely that at Achquechenonk & that at Totua shall be gov- 
erned by one or by two Consistories (3) and whether everj' portion of the 
Congi-egation shall contribute money for the services or the Salary shall be paid 
by each [church] equally. 

Whereupon Do. Marinus remarked in the first place that he intended to 
stand by his Call until the matter should be settled between the Congrega- 
tion and a conclusion was reached by the majority of the Consistory

older writings. The writer has in the translation just given been careful to denote

erection of the church at Totowa- 



Organization of the church. 13 

1 

Tliat to the Northern part of our Congi-egation at Totua (in case the con- 
gregation shall approve) the fourth part of the services shall be allowed 

2 

That the two churches [Kei'ken] namely that at Achquechenonk and that 
at Totua shall be governed by one Consistory 

3 

That the Salary shall be 'equally paid with these conditions in case the 
majority of the Congi-egation shall approve and on this account it has been 
provisionally resolved that the Congi-egation of Achquechenonk shall be 
called together, by themselves the next Thursday eight days at the old 
church [by de Oude Kerlc] at ten o'clock in the morning and then the meet- 
ing was closed with a JDanksegge. 

Davtd Maeintjs, Praes : 

The 20 November 1755 the above articles were well approved by the major- 
ity of the congregation and upon the question when the Church [Ket'k] at 
Totua shall be organized, it was resolved that the Consistoiy shall first inquire 
how much Salary the Congregation is willing to raise by voluntary subscrip- 
tions, in order to see whether the Congregation can make up such a sum of 
Money as Do Marinus judges to be reasonable, proper and necessary to have, 
in case the very successful Do Marinus is willing to perform the said ser- 
vice in the new Church [Kefk]. 

The Great Consistory and Congregation of Achquechenonk assembled to- 
gether the 24 February, 1756 in the Church [Kerk] at Achquechenonk. The 
meeting was opened with prayer to God, by the President. First there was 
read a letter from the Northern part of our Congi-egation at totua containing 
a desire that they might have a separate government in their Church [Kerk] 
and pay their own Salary. Next there was read by the President a reply from 
OUT Consistory at Achquechenonk, wherein they grant the petition of Totua 
on condition that our Congregation shall ajDprove 

Which having been read to the Congregation they after deliberation unan- 
imously approved 

1 

That those who henceforth incline to belong to the Church [KerJc] at Totua 
shall hereafter be considered as becoming a church on their own account and 
have a Separate Government & as a congregation combined with Achqueche- 
nonk shall fiave a fourth part of the service and shall pay a fourth part of 
the Salary 

2 

Permission is given to Do David Marinus to constitute a consistoi-y and to 
perform a fourth part of his preaching service at that place immediately

ry,* depleted by those taken out and it is the order of the Congregation 
that a New call be made on Do David Marinus in combination with the 
Veuefable Consistories of Totua & Pomptan 

4 
The sense of the Congregation was j^roposed by the Undersigned and the 
above approved by the Congregation. 

IV. Totowa's First Call to a Pastor. 

The following quaint and interesting document, translated 
from the Dutch, as originally entered by Dominie Marinus, in 
the Acquackanonk Church Records, is Totowa's first call to a 
pastor : 

The 'New Call [Beroefshrief, letter of call] of Do David Mariniis as Preacher 
at Achquechnonli Totna & Pomptan. 

In the name of God ! 

Inasmuch as the Dutch Kef ormed church in the till now united Places 
Achquechenonck & Pomptan in East New Jersey in North America have had 
the Rev. Do David Marinus as their Pastor [Herder, Shepherd] & Teacher, 
and your Eeverence having already f ulfillod the office very zealously and pi- 
ously four years among us with Praiseworthy Edification, it has i)leased the 
Eichness of God's goodness to cause your Eeverence's service of the churches 
so to grow and flourish that out of the two aforesaid churches, with the gen- 
eral consent of both, a thhd church has arisen at Totua, which has laid us 
under the necessity of making changes, and to that End we elders & Dea- 
cons of the now three combined Churches of Achquechnonk Totua & 
Pomptan on Friday the 23 April in the Year of our Lord 1756 in the church 
at Achquechnonk assembled and havii^g consulted with his Eeverence Do. 
R. Erickson [pastor at Hackensack] as our consuleut [Moderator] and after 
the invocation of God's Holy name we have finally come to these conclusions : 

1. 

That your Eeverence shall perform the half of the Preaching service 
at Achquechnonk the fourth at Totua and the fourth at Pomptan. 

2. 

The Iloly days mentioned in your Eev.'s First Call [from Acc^uackanonk and 
Pompton, viz. : "Christmas and the day after. New Year's, the day after Paas- 
day, Ascension-day, and the day after Piiaxter-day"] shall be observed at those 

«June 22, 1V55, Jacobus Post was electea Elder, aud Jolianuis Viinlioate, Deacou of 
the Acquackanonk church, for the term of two years. As will be seen hereafter, their 
names appear, as Elders, signed to the call to Dom. Marinus, April 23. 1756 ; May 27 
following, Gerrit Van wageniuge and Jan Van Blevkom were elected Elders of the Ac- 
quackanonk Chnroh, to serve as Elder and Deacon respectively, for the unexpired 
terms of Post and Vanhoute, withdrawn to form the new church.

places where they come nearest the Simday, except Asceusion-day, which 
shall serve as a turn m that Church in which your Eev: shall celebrate it. 

3. 
Your Rev: shall preach once on the day of the Lord the whole year through. 
[No vacations allowed!] Six months at the Longest of the days [i. e., in simi- 
mer] you shall preach once, aaid after the morning service you shall 
catechise in the church : and the other six mouths of the year you shall cate- 
chise when and where you and the Venerable Consistory shall agree, and also 
at Slotterdam. 

4. 
Twice a year your Eev. shall make house to house visits {huyshesoekinge 
doen) in the congregation at Achquechnonk, once a year in the Congrega- 
tion at Totua and once in the Congregation at Pomptan, so long as your 
bodily health will permit, and four times a year you shall administer the 
Lord's Supper in each Chui-ch. 

5. 
"Whenever by reason of sickness or absence from home your Eev. shall fail 
to perform the service at any particular place, it must be performed the next 
following S.ibbath at that place where they were promised, and doing this in 
the manner we have agi'eed upon among us, as above mentioned 

1. A yearly salary of Hundred and Sixteen* Pounds New Jersey money reck- 
oned at half Proclamation money or otherwise New York current money shall 
be paid you by the Elders and Deacons who now are and from time to time 
after us shall be in the service, the just half shall be paid you every half year, 
that is the Ven. Consistory of Achquechnonk shall to your Eev. pay yearly 
Fifty-eight Pounds, the Ven. Consistory of Totua twenty-nine Pounds, & the 
V. Consistory of Pomptan twenty-nine Pounds. 

2. And besides this a suitable dwelling which was newly built at the time of 
Do Hemricus Koens at Achquechnonk,! and stands close by the Church; a 
Bam for Horses and cattle, a Well, a garden and Six acres of ground — all 
these we will repair and keep in repair, which with all the benefits and profits 
of the same shall be yours as long as you shall continue our Teacher. 

3. But should it happen that one or other of the aforementioned United 
Congregations should refuse or neglect to f ulfiU then- equal part according to 
their proportion of the service enjoyed by them, whether in respect to the 
aforementioned Salary or in respect to the aforesaid Eepairs, then the other 
Church or Churches shall have the perfect right {volkome reglit hehben) to take 
the service to themselves of the delinquent congregation provided that they 
shall then be obligated to fulfill the above mentioned conditions. 

And for the performance of aU this we pledge ourselves as present Elders 
and Deacons as shall also do all who after vis shall from time to time be

late day. Corwin's "Manual of the Reformed Church in 
America" (edition of 1S69) sums up. his career thus: 

llarimis, David, studied in Pennsylvania, lie. by Coetns, 17.52 ; Acqnack- 
anonk and Pompton Plains, J.752-6, Acquaekanonck, Totowa and Pompton 
Plains, 1756-73, Kakiat 1773-78, suspended; 1780, deposed. Also supplied 
Fairfield, 1756-73. 

Marinus vras evidently a native of Holland, who having stud- 
ied for the ministry' in Pennsylvania first connected himself \vith 
the German Reformed Synod in that State, and afterwards 
with the Coetus of the Reformed Dutch church, meeting at Xe^v 
York. This appears from the following extracts from the 
"Life of Rev. Michael Schlatter, 1716 to 1790," by Rev. H. 
Harbaugh. A. M.. Philadelphia, 1857. Mr. Schlatter labored 
among the Germans of Pennsylvania and Xew Jersev. From 
his Journal these extracts are culled : 

On the 28th [October, 1748], two Low Datcli students, -who studied in this 
country, named David ilarinus and .Jonathan DuBois, inquired of me whether 
I would assist them in getting permission from the Eeverend Christian Synod 
to present themselves for examination to our Synod. This they desired, that 
if they should receive a regular call in the church they might then, here in 
this country, be placed iu a position to accept of it. I promised to fulfil 
their wishes.* 

On the 20th of October [174:9], Eev. Eeiger opened our Synod, again as- 
sembled [at ilr. Schlatter's house, Philadelphia]. » * « This 
Synod consisted of five ministers, besides the two Low Dutch students before 
referred to and sixteen eldeis.t 

^Ir. Schlatter having gone to Holland in 1751 and reported 
the condition of the Reformed church in America to the Svnod 
of North Holland, that bodv referred the matter to a Commit- 
tee, in August. 1 751. Avho reported among other things, that 
"the two Low Dutch students. David Marinus, and Jonathan 
Du Bois," "ought to be confirmed in the ministry, after prev- 
ious examination."; This recommendation Avas subsequently 
acted upon, as may be seen by the published " Min- 
utes of the General Svnod," X. Y., 1S59. In the yoiirnal of

iS THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 

The President read to the Assembly a letter from Philadelphia, laid iipou 
the table by Dom. Eitzema (of New York), which had been written by Dom. 
Schlatter in the name of the Pennsylvania Coetus, containing a statement by 
the Synod of South and Noiih Holland, respecting the two students, Mariuns 
and Du Bois, with an inqiiirs" from the Coetus'of Pennsylvania as to the way 
in which they shoiild act, since Marinus belonged under our Ccetus. After 
deliberation, the question was fouiid to bo, whether Mr. Marinus should be 
examined by our Coetus, or by that of Pennsylvania. This question was taken 
ad 7'eferendum. 

The same afternoon Garret Van Wagenen, Elder from Ac- 
quackanonk, appeared in the Coetus, doubtless to sustain and 
encourage his young pastor. For it must be recollected (as 
shown by the date appended to his first call) that Marinus had 
been called Nov.- i3, 1750, while still a student of The- 
ology, to take charge of the churches at Acquackanonk and 
Pompton. Corwin, Dewitt and other \vriters make the date 
1753. But the date appended to the call of Acquackanonk and 
Pompton is Nov, 12, 1750, beyond all question, and the writing 
is Dom. Marinus's own ; yet he begins his Baptismal Register 
Nov. 13, 1752. On the other hand, again, the baptism of a 
child of his, named David, is recorded (in a crude chirography, 
that of the Voorleser, doubtless, by whom the records were 
kept, 1748-52) in the Acquackanonk Records, Nov. 16, 1751 ; 
and, too, jSIarinus himself records eight marriages performed 
by him during 1751 and 1752 (beginning Oct. 11, 1751), prior 
to Nov. 13 of the latter year. The date, 1752, is doubtless gen- 
erally given as the year of his settlement, because that was the 
date of his ordination, and perhaps for the same reason the 
three churches, in making out their "new call," in 1756, speak 
of the "four years'" service of "the Rev." David Marinus, he 
having been entitled to that prefix only that length of time. 

Wednesday morning, Sept. 20, 1752, the CcEtus Journal 
states : 

David jMariuus laid upon the table two letters from Dom. Schlatter, touch- 
ing his examination, which being closely examined hy the Coetus, confirmed 
them in their view that the aforesaid student, being under the Coetus of New 
York, should be examined by them ; and they so decided. Whereon, D. jMa- 
rinus requested the examination, and presented his documents and testimoni- 
als, which being investigated, were all found to be to his praise, and his re- 
quest was gi-anted. The President and Clerk being occupied with weighty

mattei's, Doms. Kitzema and Frelinghuysen were appointed to conduct the ex- 
ercise, and they appointed the candidate a text and a porticjn in the langua- 
ges.* 

The next morning — 

The Examinatores, proceeding to the examination of the candidate, David 
Marinns, called to Acquackauonk, first required him to ascend the puljiit and 
preach from 1 Cor. xii, 3. He was then examined in Hebrew and Greek and 
in Divinity, in which he gave so much satisfaction that the A,ssembly found 
no difficulty in admitting him to the office of the ministry, and whatever be- 
longs thereto. Thereupon he signed the Formulas of Unity, and Dom. Goet- 
schius [of Hackensack and Schraalenburgh] was appointed to ordain him in 
his holy office, with Dom. Curtenius [of Hackensack] in the laying on of 
hands. 

The Coetus of New York now write to the Ccetus of Phihi- 
delphia : 

We must highly approve your zeal for the maintenance of peace and love, 
shown in the letter, of Dom. Schlatter, containing an extract from the reso- 
lution of the STOod of North and South Holland, concerning the examina- 
tion of Mr. David Marinus, together with a proposal to us whether we would 
find it agi'eeable to carry out the Synodical resolution. 

Our brotherly reply is, that after mature deliberation and a careful inspec- 
tion of your letter and that of Dom. Schlatter to Marinus, that since this gen- 
tleman, with his congregation, belongs imder the Coetus of New York, he 
ought to be examined by the same. Having thus concluded, we, at the re- 
quest of Mariuus, examined him by two Examinatores, in the triiths of the- 
ology, the languages, etc., and were so satisfied as to admit him to the office 
of the miniatrj', and he will be ordained at an early day. Thus you will be 
saved the trouble, f 

The Coetus, it should be understood, was a body of churches 
in America formed in i747 ^^^' I'nutual advice and aid, which 
finally, in i754? organized into a Classis and began regularly to 
ordain persons for the mihistry — a power previously reserved 
exclusively to the church in Holland, and the exercise of which 
in America was opposed by a large portion of the church here, 
and hence the formation of the Conferentie to adhere to the old 
way. The CcEtus was the means of establishing the independ- 
ence of the American Reformed Dutch church, and founded 
Queen's, now Rutgers, College for the education of the ministry 



*Journal of Coetus, p. lxxiii. 

tHe was ordained October 8, 17.12, N. S. A detailed account of tlie examination 
as above, the ordination, etc., is recorded by Dominie Marinus in tlie Acquackauouk 
Cliurch Records, Vol. I, pp. 633-4.

at home. Dominie Marinus was the first person ordained to 
the ministry by the Coetus, and the act excited great hostihty on 
the part of the Conferentie. 

Marinus married Anna Du Bois, not unlikely a sister of his 
fellow student, Jonathan Du Bois. They had a son, David, 
baptized November i6, 1751, in the Acquackanonk church, as 
stated above. The sponsors of the infant David were Casparus 
Zabriskie and Katryntje Van Wagene (his wife) .* Dec. 4, 
17^3, Johannis Marinus is born, Johannis Wanshair and Chris- 
tina Wanshair standing sponsors at the baptism. May 3, 1756, 
Ezekiel Marinus ; Waling Van Winkel and Jannitje Van Houte, 
sponsors. Oct. 7, 1758, Margarita Marinus; Gerrit Van VVag- 
ening and Sarah Van Winkel, sponsors. Dec. 10, i76i,Ger- 
ret Wynkoop Marinus ; Petrus Poulusse and Annatje Kip, 
sponsors. Some of Marinus's descendants still live near the 
Big Rock, Bergen county ; Garret Marinus, who lived for many 
years in Hamburgh avenue, near Union avenue, was a great- 
grandson of the old Dominie. 

Dom. Marinus seems to have been a man of uncommon abil- 
ity. His examination was a splendid success. But there is reason 
to fear that he ^vas like too many other brilliant young men — 
he lacked stability of character and that steadfastness of pur- 
pose so necessary to his or any other calling, and to retain the 
affections and esteem of the old Dutch people, who prized those 
qualities most highly. All his successes appear to have been 
accomplished during the first five or six years of his ministry. 
In i753-'55 nineteen persons were received into the Acquacka- 
nonk church on profession of their faith, his wife being one of 
them. Then the record ceases. In 1755 and 1756, under his 
ministry, fourteen or fifteen were added each year to the Pomp- 
ton church. In 1753 he published "A Letter to the Inde- 
pendent Reflector," a small quarto pamphlet of thlrt}' -one pages, 
reviewing the religious tendencies of certain articles in that pa- 
per, which was then edited by the young William Livingston, 
afterwards New Jersey's "War Governor" during the Revolu-

tion. In 1755 ^^^^ Dominie published another small pamphlet, 
"A Remark on the Disputes and Contentions in this Province," 
under the name "David Marin Ben Jesse, Pastor at x\que- 
nonka." From this Hebrew no7n de plume it may be inferred 
that he was the son of Jesse Marin or Marion. Both pamph- 
lets are to be found in the New Jersey Historical Society 
Library, and both display no little ability on the part 
of the writer.* But as we have said he seems to have 
lacked stability of character. After 1761, he resigns to 
another (from the feminine chirography perhaps his wife) 
the keeping of the baptismal register, and after 1767 he 
ceases to keep a marriage record. Unfortunately for him, he 
lived in troublous times — the conflict between the Coetus and 
the Conferentie waged fiercely, and his Pompton congregation 
being divided, the Conferentie wing got possession of the 
church and shut him out, so that his friends had to build a new 
church for him, which the}' did about 1760, on the Plains. In 
those days, too, "total abstinence" was unknown, and though it 
was considered unseemly for a clergyman to get tipsy, it was 
quite "the thing" for him to stop in the tavern and take a glass 
of grog ; and even the' good old Dominie Schoonmaker, more 
than half a century later, was always in the habit of taking a 
glass of hot toddy on winter mornings before going into cliurch 
to preach. 

Marinus appears for many years to have regularly attended 
the General Synod, or Coetus, as in 17535 ^754 (when he was 
appointed on an important committee with Doms. Erichzon 
and Curtenius), 1760 (when he was Clerk pro tem. of the Coe- 
tus), 1764, 1771 (at the general convention of ministers and el- 
ders, which preceded the organization of the General Synod) , 
and 1773. The next reference to him in the Minutes of Synod 
occurs at the session of October, 1779, when the Particular 
Synod of Hackensack present a long report to the eflect that 
"Dom. Marinus, then pastor at Kekkieth (Kakiat, now West 
New Hempstead, N. Y.), had again, at various occasions, 
indulged in his former sin of drunkenness, and other gross im- 
proprieties inconsistent with the holy ofKce of a minister of the

Gospel ;" that the consistory had arrested hhn from the dis- 
charge of the ministry, but he bound himseU' by a written agree- 
ment to amend and was allowed to preach again, but fell once 
more, and was then peremptorily enjoined from preaching. "On 
this occasion it was also stated that from all places where Dom. 
Marinus is conversant, exceedingly evil reports go forth of his 
disgraceful and scandalous conduct, and that he is also guilty of 
intruding into various congregations, and preaching the Word 
of God in taverns and private houses." Sept. 15th, 1778? the 
Particular Synod called up the erring pastor, when he confessed 
the truth of the charges, but also "brought various testimonies 
before the Rev. Body, in which it was declared, that for some 
months he had conducted himself soberly and correctly." How- 
ever the Synod suspended him. April 27th, i779' ^^ was re- 
ported that he had represented that the Synod had cleared him, 
and he was still preaching at Newfoundland and elsewhere, 
and had resumed his dissipated habits. The General Synod, 
therefore, October, 1779, on the strength of these reports sus- 
pended Marinus, and at the session a year later, it appearing 
that he persisted in his evil courses, formally deposed him from 
the ministry.* Truly a dark close to a life begun so brilliantly 
thirty years before. It is said that in these latter days the fallen 
man, conscious of error, would frequently exclaim at the close 
of an impassioned outburst of his old eloquence, Doct gij ah Ik 
zeggc^ niet ah Ik doc — "Do as I tell you, and not as I do." 
Dom. Marinus left the Acquackanonk, Totov^a and Pompton 
churches and went to Kakiat in 1773. The cause of his remov- 
al hence is not known. 

VI. The First Consistory. 

The list of the first Elders and Deacons of the old Totowa 
church has been given above, but these men merit something 
more than a passing notice. 

Simeon Van Winckel, Elder, was a son of Simon Jacobse 
(Van Winkel), one of the original Acquackanonk Patentees. 
He lived in what was known as De Witte Iluijs — the "White 
House," on the bank of the Passaic river, at the foot of Willis 



»Miuutc8 of General Synod, Vol. I., 73-7.5, 76, 81.

Street, where there was anciently a ford. He carried on the 
tanning business there. He died in 1775 . He was an uncle of 
Simeon Van Winkle of the Boght and of Wagraw, who was 
the grandfather of the late Cornelius Van V/inkle of Ellison 
street, Paterson. 

Jacob van Houte was probably of Slooterdam, son of Roelof 
Cornelis Van Houte and Jannetje Spier, born Oct. 26, 1721, 
and was the father of Gerrebrant Van Houten, grandfather of 
the late Judge Gerrebrant Van Houten of Water street, Pat- 
erson. 

Johannes Reyerse was doubtless of the Goffle, and brother of 
Marten Ryerson, a liberal friend of the new church. He mar- 
ried Marietje Wessels, and was the father of Evert and Marten, 
twins, born July 36, 1753, Marten Ryerson standing sponsor at 
the baptism. 

Jacobus Post built what has since been known as Zabriskie's 
mill, on the Bergen County side of the Passaic river, at the out- 
let of Saddle river. He was a man of more than ordinary ed- 
ucation for his day. He removed with his family to Orange 
county, N. Y., where his descendants thrive and multiply at 
Postville,* near Warwick. He probably removed thither about 
1770-S0. 

Dierck Van Giesen, Deacon, lived In an old stone house still 
(1888) standing on Totowa avenue, near Ryerson avenue. He 
was a leading man in the church, and several times represented 
it at the General Synods. 

Helmich Van Houten was probably a brother of Gerrebrand, 
grandfather of the late Judge G. Van Houten. He lived where 
the late Richard Benson lived on Totowa avenue, near the Lm- 
coln bridge. 

Johannis van Houte probably lived near the little schoolhouse 
where the road turns oft' from Totowa to Singack. He was a 
son of Roelof, one of the earliest setders thereabout. 

Frans Post was either a son of Jacobus Post, above men- 

^w Eclenville. "It was formerly called Postville, out of respect for Col. Jacobus 
Post. Whose father nrst settled the location and owned the lands upon which the vil-

tioned, or else belonged further down the river, toward Slooter- 
dam. 

VIL.The Deed for the Old Church Site. 

The next document we have, throwing light on the old 
church's history, is the subjoined deed, the quaintness of which 
merits its publication in full. The original deed is still in ex- 
cellent preservation, being backed with linen for greater dura- 
bility. " It may be well to state that the Henry Brockholst who 
conveys the property, was the son of Major Anthony. Brock- 
hoist, who did good service against the French and Indians at 
Canada in the seventeenth century, but failing promptly to ac- 
knowledge allegiance to the truculent Gov. Leisler in New York, 
on the accession of William and Mary to the British crown, 
was obliged to flee that Province in 1689, with nearly all the 
other best men of the city. He and Arent Schuyler bought, 
Nov. nth, 1695, 5500 acres of land, in New Jersey, one tract 
of which (2750 acres) was called the '' Lower Pacquanac Pat- 
ent," extending from the Passaic river near the Falls to the 
Pompton river, and embracing a large part of Totowa. Brock- 
hoist lived at Pompton, about where the late Maj. Wm. W. 
ColHix lived. Henry Brockholst was born December 38, 1684, 
so that he was well on toward fourscore at the time he gave the 
deed for the chin"ch-site.* 

Following is the deed to the Totowa church : 

To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come, Henry Biock- 
holst Esq. sendeth greeting : know ye that I Henry Brockholst son and heir

The deed was acknowledged by Brockholst the same day, be- 
fore George Ryerse, "one of His Majesty's Judges of the Court 
of Common Pleas for Bergen county." It was recorded August 
20, 1S02, in the Bergen County Clerk's office in Book P of 
Deeds, p. 114, and is in Bergen County Transcribed Deeds, 
in the Passaic County Clerk's office. Book C, p. 90. 

VIII. The Trustees in 1763. 

A few words may be appropriate concerning the Consistor}^, 
mentioned as Trustees in the deed of 1762. 

Cornells Kip was doubtless the co-partner of George De Rie- 
mers (Doremus) in the purchase of the Preakness tract, in 
1723 ; and lived at Preakness. 

Robert Vanhouten and his wife Elizabeth Post joined the 
Acquackanonk chvuxh in 1738; he was elected Deacon in i744- 
He lived west of Totowa, near the Singack road, and was the 
father of Adrian (born 1750) and Cornelus (born 1753). 

Cornells Westervelt lived near Wagraw, and was the grand- 
father of the late Cornelius I. Westervelt, for many years Pres- 
ident of the Paterson Gas Light Company. 

Johannis Van Blerkom lived at the southwest corner of Wil- 
lis street and Vreeland avenue, in an old stone house destroyed 
about 1S70. He had several children, one of whom, Henry, 
served creditably in an engagement ct Fort Lee, in the Revolu- 
tion. Johannis was the great-grandfather of the late ex-Mayor 
Brant Van Blarcom. 

Cornelus Gerretse was a large land-owner at the Boght and 
lived there about the time the deed was given, about where the 
old Van Winkle homestead (late Riverside Hotel) stood prior 
to 1S73. He sold this property to Simeon Van Winkle, who 
married his daughter Margaret about 17S0. This Simeon was 



THE CHURCH ON THE HlLL-StDE. 27 

the grandfather of the late Cornelius Van Winkle, who was 
named after old Cornelus Gerretse or Garrison. 

IX. The Church on the Hii.l-Side. 

The plot of land given by Brockholst for a church site was 
almost triangular in shape, and was intersected by that part of 
the old Totowa road lying between the present Hamburgh and 
Totowa avenues, and from iSjo to 1887 called Water street, but 
now Ryle avenue. The northerly line would run parallel to 
Matlock street, and about one hundred feet south of that street. 
The south line of the present quarry road, running westerly 
from Ryle avenue, if extended northeasterly would be the line of 
the old plot. The easterly line ran within fifteen or twenty feet 
of the brook, or seventy-five to one hundred feet west of the 
present Hamburgh avenue. Thus the better and larger part of 
the tract lay north of the Totowa road, now Ryle avenue. The 
property included the lots designated on the city map as No.'s 
45 to 56 inclusive, 57 and 59 Water street. 

Thus, near the foot of the hill, upon the principal road north 
of the Passaic, within a stone's throw of the bright and rushing 
brook which flowed free and unconfined on one hand, and 
of the rippling Passaic on the other, with the roar of the 
mighty and undespoiled cataract ever sounding near ; ' con- 
venient to the only bridge which then spanned the Passaic 
river north of the town of Newark ; and also (important con- , 
sideration) convenient to the inn where " refreshment for man 
and beast" was kept by Abraham Godwin (father of the old 
General) in the quaint, low stone house, recently the kitchen 
and dining room of Mr. Cornelius Benson, in Water street, and 
torn down only in 18S6, but at that time directly opposite the 
north end of the solitary bridge — here we say, under the shadow 
of the forest-crowned hill, snugly sheltered from boreal blasts, 
did these God-fearing people erect their tabernacle for the Lord's 
worship. And here for nearly three-quarters of a century, did 
they assemble once or twice a month to hear the Word expound- 
ed in solemn and impressive Dutch. 

The deed for the church-site speaks of the edifice as already 
built. Probably Brockholst had promised Dominie Marinus 



38 THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 



(whose preaching he must have heard at Pompton) to give the 
land if he should get a church built here. There is every rea- 
son to believe that the building had been started, at least, fully 
seven years before the deed was passed. 

The first published notice of the old church is doubtless that 
of the Marquis de Chastellux, a warm friend of Lafayette's, who 
traveled with the American army in 17S0-2. In his Journal* 
he describes the location of the American Army on Totowa and 
Manchester Heights : 

' ' It was encamped on two heights, and in one line, in an extended but veiy 
good position, having a wood in the rear, and in the front the river, which is 
very difficult of passage everywhere except at Totohaw-Eridge. * * Two 
miles beyond the bridge is a meeting-hoase of an hexagonal form, which is 
given to their places of worship by the Dutch Presbyterians, who are very 
numerous in the Jerseys. ''f 

Thus de Chastellux. The word "hexagonal" was probably 
due to a slip in his memory, for in this case, at all events, it 
was as incon-ect as the statement of the distance of the church 
from the bridge. 

The exact location of the old church was about thirty feet 
east of the Totowa road (now Ryle avenue), about one hun- 
di'ed feet south of Matlock street, or on the rear of Lot No. 4"^ 
Water street (as on the present city map) and on the up^^er 
part of Lot No. 47. 

X. Its External Appearance. 

It was about 30x40 feet in area, possibl}^ a little larger. The 
stone walls were only eighteen or twenty feet high, and the 
shingled roof overhung them two or three feet, making the 
walls appear much lower than they roaily were. The roof 
rose from all four sides with quite a steep pitch to a common 
point, which was surmounted by a belfry of great simplicitv of 
construction — four posts like legs straddling over tlie pyramid-

Marquis Inserted the word "pleda" after the word "milles" he would have been less in- 
accurate, although the church was not even two thousand feet, much less two miles, 
from the bridge. The distance was less than five hundred feet, indeed. 



ITS EXTERNAL APPEARANCE. ^9 



al apex, supporting a miniature shingle roof, which sheltered 
from the storms, in a measure, but left in plain view tne bel 
and its attendant wheel, by which the people were summoned 
to service This quaint belfry was capped by a weathercock, 
which flaunted his golden plumage in storm and sunshine for 
many, many years, his giddy evolutions contrasting strangely 
with the steadfastness of purpose of those whose voices on the 
Lord's Day ascended up through the not over-close roo. be- 
neath him. It must have been a quaint-looking building, al- 
together, but its plan was very similar to that of all the early 
Dutch churches in America. The doorway m the middle of 
the front, towards the Totowa road, was quite spacious, was 
fronted by a broad step of brownstcne, and flanked on either 
side by a large wmdow. On each side of the building were 
two other similar windows, the top of each and all being turn- 
ed with a brick arch, as was also the top of the door. There 
were no windows in the rear. 

It is said that on one stone on the south side wall there was 
rudely sculptured a heart in outline, and on another a diamond, 
the former inclosing the initials of Marten Ryerson, and he 
latter those of his wife Annetje Van Rypen, of whom mo e 
anon. Hence the following story: One day a blacKsmith 
down the road saw an Irishman pounding away at the door of 
the church. He hallooed to him, "What do you want, Pat? 
%L an' I want a pack of cards." "Cards ! How do you ex- 
pect to get cards there .^ What do you take that building for? 
?^Troth an' I thought it was a card factory !" "A 'card_ factory ! 
Why, man, you must be crazy : what put that notion into your 
heal;- "Faith, and didn't I see the ace of hearts an' the ace of 
diamonds on the wall, an' I thought them the ad^^rtlsemento 
a card factory." Pat was mightily taken back when informed 
that it was a church. The Marten Ryerson referred to was a 
son of Frans Ryerson, of New York, one of the earliest pur- 
chasers of the Wagraw tract. Marten lived m an old ston 
house torn down about 1870-72, near the corner of Chnton 
and Water streets, Clinton street being the westerly line of 
ht propertv. They were intorred in a privato burying-ground 
ntl'r ar of the oilstone house, No. 1x7 Water street, whence 



30 The old dutch church at totowa. 

the l)odies were removed many years later to the old Dutch 
cemetery, south of the quarry road. Some 3'ears ago a grand- 
son, Martin Ryerson, then living in Chicago, had the still 
handsome marble box-tombs removed to Cedar Lawn cemetery. 
He died in 17S7, aged 79 years; his wife, 1784, aged 68 
years. One of the daughters of old Marten Ryerson married 
James McCurdy, from whom McCurdy's pond took its name. 
Tradition differs as to the part Ryerson took in the building of 
the old church — some saying that he did the mason work, and 
others that he gave largely of his means to help on the under- 
taking, and hence the privilege accorded him of perpetuating 
his name in the walls of the church. 

Over the doorway, in front, was a whitish or light-colored 
stone, smoothly cut and polished, about sixteen inches square, 
but inserted in the wall so as to present the form of a diamond, 
and in this stone was deeply inscribed this inscription : 




'•Tliis [is] the House of the Lord, 17: 

The late Avery Richards, of Paterson, who lived for many 
years in the old frame house still standing (iSSS) at the north- 
east corner of Broadway and Carroll street, was the only per- 
son the writer ever found who could recollect that date, but 
he remembered it very distinctly, from the time he first saw it 
in 1 819, and his recollection was undoubtedly correct, being 
sustained also by collateral evidence * 

Mr. Richards, by the way, when a mere lad, heard his 
great-uncle, Daniel Fuller, a soldier of the New Hampshire 

*Iii the printed pamphlet of the late Judge Dickevaon's Historical Sketch of Pater- 
erson he gives this date as 1745— clearly a blunder, and doubtless a misprint for 1755. 



ITS INTERNAL APPEARANCE. 3 1 



Line ill the Revolution, and quartered hereabout one or two 
winters, tell how he and the rest of a foraging party of sol- 
diers "camped" one night in this very church, "close by the 
Great Falls." 

In front of the church stood a majestic oak tree, which threw 
its grateful shade over all the space between the church and the 
road, and its long arms reached out lovingly to the quaint 
building as if it would fain encircle it in its mighty embrace. 
For sixty or seventy years did that oak wax grander and lustier. 
Then, for some reason never explained, it was cut down, to the 
general regret, it seems, of the whole congregation, for the 
event was considered of such importance that it is remembered 
wJio laid the axe to that trunk the girt of which was upward 
often feet — it was Cornelius G. Post. It has been suggested 
that it aflbrded too convenient a shade for loiterers during ser- 
vice, but the true explanation doubtless is that the Consistory 
were on some occasion hard pressed for money, and sold the 
tree to replenish their treasury. But the old people in years 
after always connected the felling of that tree with the sub- 
sequent destruction of the church ! On the north side of the 
building, up the hill, stood a great buttonwood tree, whose 
rapidly growing branches, with adjacent undergrowth, formed a 
favorite and sheltered retreat for the women and children of the 
congregation. . 

XI. Internal xA-ppearance. 

Entering the front door (and there was no other) the con- 
gregation were immediatelv in the audience room of the build- 
ing, there being no vestibule or ante-room. A narrow stair- 
way on either side ran up to the two galleries. The floor was 
occupied b}'^ two double rows of pews — straight, high-backed 
affairs, with doors to them, the rows being separated by an 
aisle stretching up the middle of the church. The pews were 
quite long. Along against each of the side- walls was a high- 
backed bench, whereon the boys and youths were accustomed 
to sit, and in front of them, occupying a similar long bench, 
running the length of the church, sat the slaves and "free per- 
sons of color." Human nature was much the same then as 



THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 



now, it seems, for it is related that the mischievous urchins and 
youths on the back seats used to "wile away the weary hour" 
of the Dominie's sermon by carving holes in the backs of the 
seats before them, and with sundr}' pins and the like were 
wont to prod the backs of the aforesaid slaves and free persons 
of color ! But the most striking object that greeted the eye on 
entering the church was the pulpit. How shall we describe 
that wonderful product of the carpenter's craft? Fancy a shang- 
hai rooster cut in two vertically and latitudinally, his front half 
placed up against a wall, and his head cut off and suspended 
an inch or two above him. Or, it has been described as being 
like a swallow's nest. Or, like the half of a newel-post cut in 
two perpendicularly. It was a semi-octagonal box placed 
against the rear wall, tapering down to a mere post at the 
floor. This swallow's nest pulpit, only about large enough for 
one person, was reached by a narrov/ and steep step-ladder, 
and the Dominie when mounted to his perch was eight or ten 
feet above the mass of his congregation, and could almost look 
down upon the few who occasionally gathered in the galleries. 
Above him was suspended, like a great umbrella, or like the 
lid of a box (and we wonder if the preachers who sometimes 
uttered nonsense in those days did not fear, while talking, that 
this lid would suddenly come down upon them like an old- 
fc\shioned candle-extinguishor .?) , that wonderful, ancient con- 
trivance known as a sounding-board, which was supposed to 
catch all the preacher's eloquence and hurl it down upon the 
congregation below him. This was an elaborate eight-corner- 
ed affair, extending from the wall, and supported by a large 
iron bar which projected several feet out from the w^all and 
held the sounding-board from above. The galleries simply 
contained long benches, but no pews ; the face of the galleries 
was a kind of open lattice-work, of half-rounded rails — like 
stair bannisters. The ceiling sloped up like the roof, from the 
four sides toward a common centre, but in the middle there 
was a flat space ; the whole w- as ceiled wdth boards, instead of 
plastered, and the whole interior was painted a dingy drab. 
The Eklcrs occupied a pew on the right of the pulpit, and the 
Deacons sat on the left. Before the pulpit, and about six feet

iVom it, was a little box, with a book-rest rising before it, for 
the accommodation of the man who, next to the Dominie, was 
altoo-ether the most essential to the successful holding of 
service in the church. This was the Voor/escr— the fore-read- 
er or sino-er, a position occupied in the old Totowa church for 
many years, with great acceptance, by Albert Van Saun, father 
of the late Samuel A. Van Saun. 

Thus we have described the exterior and the interior of the 
old church, as it appeared from 1755 until 1816, when it was 
overhauled. But, says the reader, "Stop, you have told us 
nothing about the heating and lighting of the church." True, 
but there were no appliances of the sort about the building ; 
there was preaching there only every third Sunday, and as the 
people came long distances night meetings were out of the 
question. As for the heating, everybody carried his or her 
foot-stove, or if not, suffered accordingly. But the ladies never 
forgot in winter their warming-pan or foot-stove — a tin box on 
a stout wooden frame, filled with live hickory coals, covered 
with ashes which were raked occasionally as the fire grew 
dull, the tin perforated with holes to let the heat escape and 
Ave the fire ventilation. With such a contrivance as this under 
dieir feet the ladies kept far more comfortable, generally, than 
their successors do in badly-ventilated buildings, where all the 
cold air settles on the floor to chill people's feet through. In 
these olden times when one got her feet thoroughly warmed 
she pushed the foot-stove along to the next, and so on. About 
181 2 or 1814 box stoves were introduced to warm the church, 
but the elderly ladies always carried their own stoves with them 
still. 

It is said that there was a sketch or view of the church drawn 
by old Gen. Abraham Godwin, once upon a time, on the walls 
of the Passaic Hotel, Which was so admirable and striking a 
likeness that his son declared it should always remain, but it 
was whitewashed over many years ago. There is a crude 
sketch of the building still in existence on a map of the adjacent 
Wallis property, executed by Uzal W. Freeman, a local survey- 
or, about 1825. 



34 THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 

XII. Church Going in the Olden Time, 

It is a bright Sunday morning say a hundred years ago, and 
it is the "turn" of the Totowa church people to have service in 
their Kerk — on the Hillside. The Voorleser and sexton stands 
in the middle aisle of the old church, in the centre of the build- 
ing, vigorously pulls the rope that dangles down from the bell 
through the roof nearly to the floor, and the wheel in the bel- 
fry gives a whirl and the bell turns and clangs out its call to 
the people. Along the few roads leading hither great w'agons 
are seen slowly wending their way churchward, while far 
more numerous are the groups of horsemen and horsewomen, 
who prefer that means of conveyance to jolting in heavy wag- 
ons devoid of springs over the rough roads. As the appointed 
hour draws nigh the people gather about the church, awaiting 
tiie coming of the Dominie. He arrives in good season, and 
after appropriately greeting his parishioners on every side, he 
enters the church, followed by the congregation, who with be- 
coming gravity take their accustomed places, jjaterfamilias 
closing the door of his pew as the last of his flock enters. On 
ascendiiig to the pulpit the Dominie kneels, bows his head, 
holding up his hat before his face, and silently pra3'S, the con- 
gregation likewise engaging in silent prayer. Then he an- 
nounces a hymn to be sung, or (as was the custom in those 
earlier days) hands the Voorleser a notice of the hymn selected. 
The Voorleser stands up in his place before the pulpit, and 
placing his book in a rack before him starts the tune and leads 
the singing, all the congregation joining. And with Avhat fer- 
vor, and how' sonorously they chorus the praises of Jehovah ! 
There is no violin, nor bass-viol, nor organ to keep the accom- 
paniment, and no choir to do the singing. The congregation 
feel that everything depends on their voices, and most heartily 
do they respond. If you want to hear such singing now, at- 
tend one of our Holland churches some Sunday. The Domi- 
nie now oflers up a brief invocation to God, and then an- 
nounces a chapter in the Bible, which the Voorleser stands up 
and reads. After, this the pastor gives out another hymn, 
wdiich is sung as before, the Voorleser leading, and then the 
congregation settle themselves for a good, full hour's discourse, 



ORDER »OF SERVICES. ^5 



under the several heads of "hrstly" to "tvventy-firstly." Of 
course the young people thought this -terribly prosy, but the 
longer and more controversial the discourses were the better 
the old people enjoyed them, for be it remembered they heard 
a sermon but every third Sunday, and most of them came miles 
to hear that. The sermon over, the Deacons arise, grasp the 
long poles in their pew and sally out among the congregation 
to take up the usual collection — originally sacredly devoted to 
establishing a fund for the payment ot the joastor's salary. The 
poles are six or eight feet long, to reach the end of the long 
pews, and on the extremity of each pole is attached a small 
black bag with a little bell at the bottom which answers a 
double purpose — awaking sleepers (some of the congregation 
were remarkably di^owsy during the ceremony), and an- 
nouncing by its responsive jingle, whenever any coppers were 
dropped in. About iSi6, the bells were taken oft' the collec- 
tion bags, which were retained in use, however, till the burn- 
ing of the old church. This sort of '•'•contribution box" was 
common in all Dutch churches during the last century. The 
Dominie now offers up another short prayer and dismisses the 
congregation for three weeks. The service lasted from hall- 
past ten o'clock in the morning until one or half-past one in 
the afternoon. When the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper 
was administered, the table having been spread before the pul- 
pit, the Elders, Deacons and heads of families first went up and 
partook of the symbolical bread and wine together, as handed 
them by the pastor ; then the remainder of the congregation 
took their turn in sitting down at the Lord's table, till all had 
been served. After the* ceremony, the bread and wine re- 
maining was passed around among the poorer people who had 
come long distances, by way of refreshment, before they start- 
ed for home. It was customary for many of the congregation 
to lunch out on the open green sward "in front and on the south 
side of the church, after service 

XIIL The Successors of Dom. Marinus. 

As already stated Dom. Marinus left this part of the 
country in 1773. But it seems that in 1763 the Conferentie 



36 THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 

party, anxious to get clear of INIarinus, who was of the Coetus 
party, called Dom. Cornelius Blauw to take charge of the 
churches at Totowa, Fairfield and Boonton (now Montville). 
He remained about five years, then removed to Hackensack, 
and died about 1770, after a three years' pastorate. He lived 
at Two Bridges, and having no carriage was taken to and 
from church by the more fortunate people. He is said to 
have been from Holland, a good preacher, but quarrelsome, 
''•invading the congregations of others, accepting calls from the 
disallected, and illegally administering the ordinances to them." 
He fell into irregular, dissipated habits at the last. 

From i767-'73 the Totowa pulpit appears to have been va- 
cant, unless Dom. Marinus resumed his old pastoral relation, 
which is not improbable. However, in November, 177.2, 
Pompton and Totowa called the Rev. Hermanns Meyer, D. 
D., and he was installed over those churches. Dr. Meyer 
was born in Bremen, Lower Saxony, July 37, 1733, of good 
parentage, and received an excellent education. In 1763 he 
was called to Kingston, N. Y., where he served with marked 
ability, but desiring to remain neutral between the Coetus and 
the Conferentie he offended both, and a majority of the Con- 
sistory being of the latter party closed the church door against 
him, and repulsed him by an armed sentinel. He consequent- 
ly had to minister for several years in private houses, until he 
was called to Totow^a. In 1784 'i^ "vvas appointed Professor of 
H^ebrew, and in 17S6 Lector or Assistant to the Professor of 
Divinity; in 1789 Qiieen's (now Rutgers) College conferred on 
him the degree of D. D. He died at his residence at Pacqua- 
nac or at Two Bridges, after a brief Mllness, Oct. 37, 1791, 
widely lamented. He was a profound scholar and had begun 
a new translation of the Old Testament, but only completed 
the Psalms. He was buried under the pulpit of the Pompton 
church, and his remains iTave never been disturbed.* 

"It is said that his last sermon was from the text, 'He that 
hath the Son hath life,' dwelling particularly on the last clause 
of the text, 'hath life.' He had contemplated administering the 
Lord's Supper two weeks from that day, but he was taken ill. 
During his sickness he sent for one of the Elders and gave him 
»Sprague's Anuals Reformed Dutch ClinrcU, pp. S4-6, 



THE SUCCESSORS OF DOM. MARINUS. 'i*J 

directions about his funeral. He only remarked, 'I meant to 
have administered the Lord's Supper next Sabbath, but the 
Lord has intended otherwise, and I shall not drink wine 
again until I drink ft in my Father's Kingdom.' As expressive 
of his pious sentiments he remarked on taking a little refresh- 
ment, 'I have no more taste for what I once relished, but the 
bread of heaven is provided for me.' " [MS. of Rev. Dr. 
yohn H. Diiryea., 1S69.) 

After the death of Dr. Meyer, the connection between Toto- 
wa and Fompton was dissolved, after thirty-five years dura- 
tion, and the comiection with Acquackanonk was renewed, 
the two churches calling the Rev. Henricus Schoonmuker, 
who was to preach one-third of the time in Totowa. Mr. 
Schoonmaker was born in Rochester, Ulster County, N. Y., 
July iS, 1739, and was one of the first licensed by the C(Etus. 
Hence his ordination was opposed by the Conferentie, who 
managed to get possession of the church at Foughkeepsie, 
where the ceremony was to take place, locked and barred it. 
But his friends brought out a wagon under an apple-tree before 
the chvuxh, and from that inipromptu pulpit the Rev. John M. 
Goetschius preached the sermon, and the candidate knelt there 
and was ordained. He served very acceptably and with great 
success, until his church required preaching in English, which 
was beyond his power. Receiving a call in 1773 to Acquack- 
anonk and Totowa he removed hither, and continued to preach 
in Dutch till the last. In March, 1S16, owing to the infirm- 
ities of advancing age, he formally relinquished his charges 
here, after forty-three years of successful labor. As a mark of 
their appreciation the Acquackanonk Consistory voted him a 
life annuity of $205. Li the summer of 1S16 he removed to 
Jamaica, L. I., where he lived peacefully and happily with 
his son, the Rev. Jacob Schoonmaker. "Here, in the blessed 
hope of a glorious, immortal life, he terminated his earthly 
career, in the eighty-first year of his age, on the 19th of Jan- 
uary, 1S30. His body was removed for burial among the peo- 
ple of his last charge, at Acquackanonk, and an impressive 
funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. F. D. Freligh, then 
the pastor of the church in that place, from Zachariah i., 5."* 
*Sprague'd Anuals of the Reforoieil Dutch Church, p. 39. 



38 THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOAVA. 

His son Daniel atterwards lived and died at what is now No. 
173 Market street, Paterson. As remarked before, the good 
old man could not preach English. When John King's little 
daughter Grace (aged five years) died (Nov. 14, I'jgS), there 
being no other clergyman within several miles, Dom. Schoon- 
maker was invited to preach the funeral sermon. But what 
was the astonishment of the bereaved parents when the Dom- 
inie preached away in Dutch, of which they could understand 
very little ! .Small consolation could they get from his discourse, 
however comforting it might have been intended to be. 

The Totowa church, which had hitherto had preaching only 
every third Sunday, now resolved (March I3, 1S16) to have 
service every other Sabbath, if possible, and so notified the 
Acquackanonk Consistory, but that body seem to have taken 
tinie by the forelock, and March 30th notified the Totowa 
church that they had secured the services of the Rev. Peter 
Van Pelts, of Staten Island, and asked Totowa to take a third 
of his services. The Totowa church resolved that Acquack- 
anonk had acted prematurely or ex parte^ in not consulting To- 
towa, and repeated the demand for half the ministerial service; 
but on April 23, agreed to pay $300 a year for the pastor's sal- 
ary, if he would preach one-third of the time at Totowa, and 
also give them services on the intervening Sunday afternoons, 
for eight months in the year, Totowa to be also exempt from the 
care or cost of the parsonage. But ]:)efore this arrangement 
was consummated it was learned that the Rev. Wm. Eltinge, 
ofParamus, could be got for sixteen full Sundays in the year 
(Paramus agreeing), and that he likewise agreed to give his six 
free Sabbaths, making a total of twenty-two Sabbaths in the 
year, besides two holiday sermons, Totowa to pay $300 a 
vear. A proposition was also received from the First Presby- 
terian church at Paterson to this effect: If Totowa would pay 
$350 ("less than one-third of the salary") toward the support 
of the Rev. Samuel Fisher, M''- F. would act as their minis- 
ter in visiting the sick, attending funerals, visiting the schools, 
and catechising the children, and would preach at Totowa 
every other Sunday, while the Totowa people would also 
have the privilege of attending the Presbyterian cliurch. This 



tllE TRAGIC DEATH OF MitS. GUMMING. ^9 

offer was declined, and after some further negotiation Mr. El- 
tinge was secured, on the above terms. He always preached 
in English. 

XIV. A Tragic Incident. 

The proposal just menti(jned, from the First Presbyterian 
Church, recalls an earlier occasion when English was preached 
in the old Totowa church, perhaps for the first time — an occa- 
sion connected with the most romantically tragic incident in the 
history of the Passaic Falls. The Presbyterirfns of the little 
town had from time to time been favored with a service in Eng- 
lish, and by the year iSi3 had become so numerous that they 
thought themselves entitled to regular preaching. Application 
was accordingly made to the Presbytery of Orange, and that 
bod}- recognized Paterson as a a mission station, and assigned 
certain preachers to officiate there at regular intervals. Among 
those so assigned was the Rev. Hooper Gumming, pastor of the 
Second Presbyterian Church of Newark. Mr. Cumming was a 
brilliant young man, the son of Gen. John N. Gumming, of 
Newark, who had been an officer in the Revolution, afterwards 
owner of an important line of mail coaches, and had built the 
first raceway in Paterson. Gen. Gumming was one of the lead- 
ing citizens of Newark, his son was a graduate of Princeton, of 
marked ability and engaging manners, a favorite in society, 
and one of the most promising young clergymen in New Jersey. 
About six weeks before coming to Paterson to fulfil the assign- 
ment of Presbytery he had been united in marriage to Miss 
Sarah Emmons, of Portland, Me., a young lady spoken of as 
attractive in person and charming in manners, and but twenty- 
two years of age. It is not unlikely that Mr. Gumming thought 
the trip to Paterson on ministerial duties might be utilized as a 
continuation of his wedding journey, and doubtless his fond 
young wife was glad enough to accompan}^ her husband where 
she was sure she would witness new triumphs of his eloquence, 
and where she would, in his society, enjoy novel and beauti- 
ful scenery. We can see in fancy, their delightful drive one Sat- 
urday afternoon, in June, along that charming road from New- 
ark to Acquackanonk, by the riverside, and so on to Paterson, 



^O THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 

where they were cordially vvelcomed by Mr. Samuel Colt, in his 
spacious mansion on Market street, near Main, where the 
Masonic Hall now stands. On Sunda\ morning, June 21st, 
18 1 3, the bell of the Totowa church clanged out notice that 
services were to be held that day. It was not the regular Sun- 
day for Dominie Schoonmaker's ministrations, and the use 
of the church had been kindly given to the Presbyterians on this 
occasion, no doubt to the gratification of many of the congrega- 
tion who longed for a sermon in English. Here is a description 
of the service, from the vivid and imaginative pen of Peter 
Archdeacon, as published in his " Sketch of the Passaic Falls," 
in 184'^. Mr. Archdeacon did not come to Paterson until 
several years after 1S12, so that his information was necessaril}' 
derived from others, but what he lacked in personal knowledge 
he made up in fertile fancy. Says this veracious chronicler : 

" He was brilliant as an orator, and seemingly sincere as 
a Christian ; the congregation was delighted with his discourse, 
his lady was beautiful and possessed virtues in an eminent 
degree that smooth the rugged path of life and soften the pillow 
to divine repose. The concluding words of his discourse were : 
'Oh, ye people of Israel, why will ye not return.'" The 
accent yet hung on his tongue when a blackbird was seen, and 
with trepidation flew all around and alighted on the pulpit, over 
the preacher's head. All eyes were turned to this ominous bird. 
The preacher in silence viewed the agitated throng, all inspired 
with divination, but none the point could fix. The next day 
alas ! before the sun had veiled his head behind yon western hill, 
the flush was nipped, and the lovely seraph's spirit fled to 
the regions of the blessed ! A melancholv gloom oxerspread 
the village ; the silence of death seemed to pervade ; few could 
give utterance to their thoughts; the mysterious appearance of 
the bird, thought some, was the harbinger ot death ; we turn, the 
angel to conduct her to the mansions of the blest." 

It is scarcely necessary to say that the story of the blackbird 
was an invention of Mr. Archdeacon. 

The tale is sad enough when simply told. On Monday 
morning, June 32d, the day after preacliing in the Totowa 
church, Mr. Cumming and his young wife visited the Passaic

Falls, then in their pristine beauty. Tradition says that he was 
anxious to hasten back to Newark, and gave a reluctant assent to 
his wife's desire to visit the Falls. After viewing the scene from 
various points, together they crossed the narrow chasm to 
the precipice on the northwest side of the basin. Having looked 
he stepped back across the chasm, supposing she was close be- 
hind him. Looking around, she was gone ! It is supposed 
that she had turned to take a second view, became dizzy and fell 
over the lotty precipice, here ninety feet in height. Her body 
was not recovered until the next morning, and was buried 
the day after, at Newark. Mr. Cumming's mind sustained 
a shock from which he never recovered, as his subsequent 
sad and varied career showed. 

XV. Reconstruction of the Old Church. 

When Dom. Schoonmaker left, a "party of progress" seems 
to have arisen in the church, and resolved that the old things 
should pass away. At the same meeting that his resignation 
was received (March i3, 1816), it was resolved to become in- 
corporated imder the act of 1799. Also, to repair the church. 
Also, "that the present pews be vacated and thrown into com- 
mon, and that the present pews be equitably appraised by the 
Committee to be appointed to inspect and examine the church, 
and determine what alterations and repairs are necessary," the 
present value of the old pews to be credited on the purchase of 
the new ones. The following general committee was appoint- 
ed : John Joseph Blauvelt, Abraham Godwin, Edo P. Merse- 
lis, John Doremvis, John Van Blarcom, Cornelius Van Winkle, 
David Benson, Abraham Van Blarcom, John Berdan, Jacob 
Van Houten, Abraham V. Houten, Albert V. Saun, Edo Mer- 
selis, John G. Ryerson, Andrew Ackerman. Adrian Van 
Houten, Garabrant Van Houten, Esq., and Henry Godwin 
were " appointed Managers to carry into prompt and immedi- 
ate etlect the determination of a majority of the committee," 
and to superintend the work. After deliberating two or three 
times within the next few days, the alterations were agreed 
upon, a sketch being made by Abrah;im Godwin, Jr. The 
work was driven ahead with all dispatch and completed within 



y

tlie next four months. The old floor was ripped up (by volun- 
tary laborers in the congregation) and a new one thirteen inch- 
es higher put in ; more light was obtained by putting a fanlight 
over the door (sidelights beside the door were also authorized, 
but not put in) ; the old pews and side-benches were replaced 
by two double rows of pews much shorter than the others, and 
not so high b}' three inches, and a single row on eacli side un- 
der the galleries, in place of the side benches ; the galleries 
were put in good repair, and instead of the open railing a panel 
face was put in (the railing doing service for many years after 
as a picket fence in John Joseph Blauvelt's garden, on Toto- 
wa) ; the interior was painted white. The colored people were 
now assigned the forward part of the northerly galler)^ and 
there sat. It was proposed to fit up pews in the galleries, but 
this was not done. The repairs and alterations having been 
substantially completed, the church was opened on Sunday, 
July 14, 1816, when the Rev. Wilhelmus Eltinge preached his 
first sermon therein, it being ''an excellent discourse from 
Psalm XXVII, 4; 'One thing have I desired of the Lord, that 
will I seek after ; tliat I may dwell in the house of the Lord all 
the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to 
inquire in his temple.'" (^Minutes.') On Saturday, July 37th, 
the pews were sold ; there were sixty-six pews, holding from 
four to six persons, and they brought the very handsome total of 
$2,056. 

Thenceforward the church enjoyed a quiet and rather success- 
ful career for eleven years. True, there was something of a 
"breeze" occasioned in 1825, by Mr. Brant Van Blarcom, of 
Paterson, submitting to the Consistory and congregation a writ- 
ten document in which he strongly urged the need of having a 
pastor settled regularly at Totowa or at Paterson. And he pro- 
posed that a new church be organized in Paterson, to be gov- 
erned by the Totowa Consistory or by one of its own, and that 
a pastor be secured to serve both congregations, preaching alter- 
nately on either side of the river. To this end he oftered to give 
a seven years' lease of " the double-house in Parke street, next 
north Robertson's watchmaker shop," (where A. & J. Spear's

was $260, and friends offered to furnish the house for a parsonage. 
His offer he considered equivalent to $350 a year. It is under- 
stood that Mr. Van Blarcom wanted to get the Rev. Benjamin 
C. Taylor, then at Acquackanonk, called to Paterson and Totowa. 
The Totowa congregation seem to have been very angry at Mr. 
Van Blarcom's offer, and declared that they were satisfied with 
Mr. Eltinge, and " resolved, that we are not yet ready to sell 
our minister and our souls for the sum of $350 per annum for 
seven years."

ably others — but bought pews in this church and perhaps 
attended its services regularly because there were only two other

XVII. Statistics. 

There are no statistics known to be extant relative to the To- 
towa church, prior to i8i3. In that year it reports in families 
and 78 members. In 1S17 there were 130 fLimilies and 67 mem- 
bers in communion ; in 1S31 — 175 families of 1105 persons, 105 
members, 36 having joined during the year on profession of 
their faith; in 1S33 — 179 families, 1125 persons, no members, 
43 joining on profession ; in 1824 — 180 families, 1130 j^ersons, 
125 members, 13 accessions ; in 1825 — 180 families, i i4opersons, 
117 members, no accessions; in 1826 — 180 families, 1150 per- 
sons, 129 members, 9 accessions ; in 1S27 — 170 families, iioo 
persons, 134 members, 5 accessions ; in 1828 — 125 families, 575 
persons, 88 members, 4 accessions ; in May, 1830 — 100 families, 
600 persons, 95 members, 5 accessions, 

XVIII, " God's Acre." 

Such is the tender aiid poetic name by which the Germans 
designate the grounds set apart for the sepulture of their dead. 
Applied to the old Totowa plot it was mathematically correct, 
the grounds being exactly an acre in extent. As was custom- 
ary, the first interments were made nearest the church, but in 
the course of forty years the whole lot east and south of the 
church was filled with graves. A great many were without any 
other headstone than a smooth fragment of a field-stone, a foot 
or two square, generally with no. mark on, but sometimes with 
initials or a date rudely carved on tlie hard surface. Brown- 
stone slabs were rare hereabout in those days. The graveyard, 
extending easterly almost to the brook, has bee'n built over now 
for fifty years or more, not a few skeletons having been un- 
earthed in the digging of cellars, while whatever headstones 
there were have mostly been worn away doing duty as walks, 
door-steps and the like. In 1795 this part of the church lot was 
quite filled with graves, and tlie lot southwest of the Totowa 
road (Ryle avenue) was brought into requisition for burial 
purposes, the first interment being that of Grace King, aged five

years, daughter of John King, sister of the late Aaron King, 
and aunt of the late Griffith King. There was a stone over the 
grave of Jane Van Winkle, aged two months, died 1791, hut the 
infant was doubtless removed thither when its mother was 
buried in 1S07. The following are some of the inscriptions 
copied from headstones in this ground about 1S73, by the 
writer :

1783, died Octobr. 9th, 1783, Aged 3 Months & 2 days. Also, Jtoianna, born

In memory of Edo Merselis Godwin, son of Henry and Mary Godwin, died 
Oct. 8th, 1813, aged 3 mouths, S-.O days. 

In one corner was a large tomb, the stone lintel bearing this in- 
scription : 

"Owners of this vault— Cornelias Van Winkle, Eichard Ward, Abram Van 
Houten, Albert Van Saiin. October 9, 1813." 

Gen. Godwin, who died in 1835, was one of tlie last interred 
in this now sadly-neglected spot. Many families long ago re- 
moved their dead from this cemetery, leaving the headstones still 
standing. In the spring of 1S88, the First Reformed church had 
all the remains yet in the old burying-ground taken up and re- 
interred in the cemetery of the church on Willis street. Here is 
the only reference to the burying-ground that we find in the 
Church 'Records :

XIX. Burning of the Oed Church. 

On a dry and windy day, on March the 26th, 1S37, the town 
of Paterson was startled by the cry of fire ! The two hand en- 
gines, primitive affairs, were quickly got out and hurried to the 
scene of destruction — the ([uaint old Totowa church. But there 
was no saving the old building, the cedar shingles of which were 
dry as tinder, and in the course of an hour nothing but bleak 
and blackened walls remaiijied of the building so fraught with 
rich, varied and tender memories, and reminiscences of the wars 
in the church culminating in the independence of the Reformed 
Dutch Church of America, and of wars of the nations, many a 
stirring incident of which had occurred within siglit of its belfry 
and which had resulted in a nation's freedom. As the crowd 
stood helplessly by, the old bell which had rung for nearly three- 
quarters of a century, now wept great tears of metal as the piti- 
less flames slowly and savagel)' crawled up and around it, 
wreathing it in their merciless embrace until at last it fairly wept 
itself away, and the whole roof fell in with a crash. An event 
of such interest happening to-day would furnish the reporters 



BURNING OF THE OLD CHURCH.

with material for a column or two of " fine writing," historical 
reminiscences and the like, but here is all that the Paterson Tn- 
telligeiice}' thought it worth while to say about the fire on the 
Wednesday following : 

Fire. — About eleven o'clock, A. M. on Monday last the roof of the Ee- 
formed Dutch Church in this town was discovererl to be on fire. The wind 
at the time was pi etty high, from the southwest, and before the fii-e engines 
could arrive the roof had become almost an entu-e sheet of flame ; and so rapid 
was the progi-ess of the destructive element, that in less than half an hour the 
whole wood work of the building became a heap of smoking ruins. 

A bm-uing flake carried by the wind from the chiu-ch, lodged on the thatched 
roof of the barn belonging to Garabrant Van Houten, Esq., several hundred 
yards distant, which was also entirely consumed. 

Much credit is due to oui' fire companies, and citizens generally for their 
prompt and successful exertions to save the adjacent buildings, which, from 
their combustible materials, and the du-ection of the wind, were in imminent 
danger, and seemed to threaten a most extensive conflagration. 

The fire is supposed to have originated from the carelessness of some per- 
son shooting, the wadding having lodged on the roof and communicated to 
the shingles. 

It is said that some person shot at a bird on the roof, and the 
wadding lodged between the shingles. 

The desolate walls remained standing for nearly a year, and 
were then removed to enter into the construction of the new 
edifice, on Main street, near Ellison, which was contracted for 
March Sth, 1828. 

Tlie old lot was leased for a few years, but finally all that part 
of it northeast of the Totovva road, now Ryle avenue, was sold 
and is now built upon, over the graves of the dead now in- 
terred there for nearly a century and a quarter. And thus dis- 
appeared the last vestige of the Old Dutch Church of Toto- 

WA. 

Of the events which succeeded the calamity above described 
we need not speak at length. Suffice it to say that while the 
congregation seemed to be quite unanimous as to the inexpedi- 
ency of rebuilding on the old site, they were very much divided 
on the question of a new site, a large party preferring to re- 
main north of the river, while another large party preferred 
building in the then growing town of Paterson. The pastor 
and all but one or two of the Consistory favored the latter

course, which was ultimately adopted by vote of the congrega- 
tion. In consequence of this decision Messrs. Gerrebrandt Van 
Houten, Martinus I. Hogencamp, John Joseph Blauvelt, Adrian 
R. Van Houten, Cornelius S. Van Wagoner, David Bensen and 
Cornelius G. Hopper notified the Consistory (Aug. 23, 1S27), 
with assurances of the kindliest feeling, that they would petition 
Classis in the following month to constitute thein a new church, 
and hence the Second Reformed church, corner of Water and 
Temple streets, which edifice, by the way, was completed and 
opened for public worship on Sunday, June 8, 1S2S, while the 
Main street church was not dedicated until March 15, 1S29. 

Judge Gerrebrandt Van Houten gave the site for the Second 
church, contributed liberally of his means towards its erection, 
and had concluded to pay oft' a debt of about $2,000 remaining 
on it, but died suddenly of apoplexy the night after he had an- 
nounced his benevolent intention. 

The fire and the subsequent unhappy divisions had a depress- 
ing effect on the worthy and zealous Dominie Eltinge, the ex- 
tent of whose depression may be inferred from the following note, 
appended to his statistical report to Classis in September, 1827. 
He says : 

The additions to our cliurch during the year past have been small, only six 
have been added, these, however, gave very satisfactory evidence of a real 
change. As a congregation we are at present much afflicted, our house of 
worship has been consumed by fire, and we are divided as to the site for the 
new church. "By the liiver Passaic (!) we have reason to sit down, and 
weep when we remember Zion, and to hang o;;r harps iipon the willows in 
the midst thereof. " By order of the Consistory of Totowa. 

It may be remarked that the stone set in the wall over the 
door of the old church, and bearing the legend and date already 
given, was carefully preserved and placed in the belfry of the 
Main street church, where it was undoubtedly destroyed in the 
fire of December 14, 1S71. 

XX. Supplementary Notes. 

The critical reader has doubtless noticed a conflict of dates 
relative to the settlement of Dom. Schoonmaker over Totowa, 
and the time of service of Dom. Meyer. It is probable that 
Dom. Schoonmaker's settlement at Acquackanonk and subse- 



SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES. 5 1 

quent long service in both churches, 1791-1816, led his biogra- 
pher quoted above (from Spragtie^s Annals)^ to suppose that 
his pastorate over each congregation was coequal throughout ; 
but he is clearly in error, as the Classical records extant show 
that Dr. Meyer was pastor of Totowa, in connection with 
Pompton, i773-'9i- 

A Sunday "school was organized in connection with the 
church, as early as 1825. December 19, of that year, " Mr. 
Brant Van Blarcom, one of the Superintendents, laid before 
the Consistory his accompts for books bought for the Sunday 
school under the care of this church, amounting to $46.27^, 
less $11.14 advanced to him," and he was allowed the balance. 
It is probable that these were the first books bought for the 
school. The irunday school was held in a low frame building, 
twenty or thirty feet in the rear of the church, erected about 
18 10 for a schoolhouse. It was not much injured by the fire of 
1827. 

With these fragmentary notes, gathered up at odd intervals 
during many years, amid other more engrossing occupations, 
ends the history of the Old Dutch Church at Totowa. 

And yet, does it ? Who can tell what subtle influences that 
old church still exerts upon the population of Paterson and the 
surrounding country? While it stood it was a bulwark, a 
" strong fortress" of earnest piety and staunch orthodoxy. The 
leaven thus generated permeated the whole of society herea- 
bouts, and it is not easy to believe that its power is even now 
exhausted. While it stood, and especially while the preaching 
was in Dutch, it was a visible sign of the ancient supremacy of 
that people, and gave them a moral prestige they could not oth- 
erwise have retained so long. 

The quaint old stone building is indeed no more, but the 
Truth therein proclaimed for seventy-two years shall endure 
forever. 



APPENDIX. 



Note A. 



The only baptismal register of the old church that is known 
to exist is an oblong volume, bound in parchment, sixteen 
inches long and six inches wide, containing eighty-two leaves 
or qne hundred and sixty-four pages. The title is in the 
handwriting of Dominie Marinus, as is also the New Call made 
to him in 1752, written in a fine, round hand. The subsequent 
entries have been evidently written by various persons. The 
ink is faded ; in a few cases the writing is undecipherable. In 
time the book will be destroyed, or the entries will be so faded 
that they cannot be read. To guard against such loss, and to 
make the information more available, it has been thought well 
to reproduce the contents of the volume herewith, verbatim et 
literatim, with an occasional note or translation by way of ex- 
planation.

•The nine papes following in the Register are blank, covering a period of as many 
years— 1765 to 1774— when the record is resumed in the same handwriting as before, 
from which it may he inferred that part of the record was made up some years after 
the baptisms occurred.

sign "x" in this case does indeed represent an unknown quantity. 
This list was probably prepared for the use of the collector, 
and each time (month or quarter) a subscriber paid, an "x" 
was marked after his name. The subscriptions were made in 
shillings and pence, except the last two, which are in Federal 
money. It is to be hoped that the " Dominy" did not have to 
depend on this " Salliry Lest" altogether, as it foots up only

Subscriptions towards Rebuilding the Church. 

[When the old Church was destroyed, Dominie Elting and 
a majority of the Consistory favored building a new Church on 
the south side of the river, while a majority of the congrega- 
tion were in favor of rebuilding on the old site. The follow- 
ing is one of the subscription lists for the latter purpose :] 

We the subscribers do each of us promise to pay unto Martiuus Hogen- 
camp John Joseph Blaiivelt Garrabraut Van Houten Abrm E. Vn Houten 
Adrian R. Van Houten or John Burhaus or either of them or their order, the 
several sums auexed to our respective names, for the purpose of procuring 
building materials and building a New Church on the scite where the old to- 
toway Church formerly stood with the understanding that the monies thus 
paid shall be deducted from the purchase money for Pews provided they shall 
purchase any, when the church shall be finished and pews sold the money so 
subscribed to be paid in three different equal payments either'iu money La- 
bour or building materials the lirst payment to be made on demand, the 
second payment when the church is raised and the remainder when the same 
is finished —

The Congregation held several meetings to discuss where the 
new church should be built, and on May 20, 1S27, at a meeting 
of the Consistory held at the house of Judge Gerrebi'andt Van 
Houten — the old stone house, No. 117 Water street — it was de- 
cided to build on a site offered by the Society for Establishing 
Useful Manufactures, 130 feet front on Ellison street and about 
100 feet deep on Hamilton Square. This led to a vigorous 
protest on the part of the dissatisfied members, who appealed 
to the Classis of Paramus, which sustained them, and on July 
2 the Consistory resolved to abandon the project of building on 
the proposed site, and to sell the material already on the 
ground, much of the stone of the old church having been cart- 
ed thither. Following is the notice of sale, from the original 
in the possession of the writer. The paper is about five inches

wherewith it was fastened to some convenient fence or door :

The dissatisfied members withdrew and organized the 
Second Reformed Church, on October 14, 1827. The First 
Church secured a site on Main and Ellison streets and Hamil- 
ton Square, and erected the church on Main street, where it 
stood until destroyed by fire in December, 1S71.

Pamphlets by Dominie Marinus. 
The first of these pamphlets has the following title : 

A I Letter | to the | Independent Reflector | By 
David Marin Ben Jesse, Pastor at Aquenonka. | 
New York: | Printed and Sold by Hugh Gaine at 
the Printing | Office, opposite the Old Slip, 1753- 

Small 1° Pp. 31. 

The Letter is dated "Aquenonka, April 5, i753-" The 
Dominie says : " I who am the least and youngest son of a cer- 



142 THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH AT TOTOWA. 

tain Church in this Province accept your Challeng^e. — I would 
rather enter the Lists in Dutch or in Latin, than in the English 
tongue, being more expert in either of the former, than in the 
latter." " Whoever believes Christ was the Messiah, and prac- 
tices the morality He taught, is to all intents and purposes a 
complete Christian." '"To be a Christian is to be a new 
Creature in Christ Jesus." He makes a long and labored de- 
fence of the Clergy, gives a panegyric on William, Duke of 
Cumberland, and an adjuration to the British. "I am an 
Englishman born in the Dominions of the best of Kings on 
earth," he says. 

The title of the second pamphlet reads thus : 

A I Remark | on the | Disputes and Conten- 
tions I in I this Province | By David Marin Ben 
Jesse, Pastor at | Aquenonka. j Thou shalt not 
seethe a Kid in his Mother's Milk. Moses. | 
New-York : Printed by H. Gaine, at the Printing- 
Office, in Queen-Street, | between the Fly and 
Meal-Markets, 1755. 

Small 40 Pp. 12. 

This is an attack on King's (now Columbia) College, because 
of the apprehended attempt toward a union of Church and 
State. '" The Jersey College (now Princeton) has not suc- 
ceeded in doing everything." " We intend in time to have 
a College of our own, for the proper education of our youth." 
This pamphlet was doubtless intended to have a bearing on 
the pending troubles between the Coetus and Conferentie par- 
ties. The founding of an American College for the training 
of young men for the ministry in the Dutch Church in America 
was a dream of the Coetus party, which was ultimately realized 
in the establishment of Qiieen's (now Rutgers) College at New 
Brunswick.
